Sewing the Dream

Sewing the Dream Sewing cute and fashionable accessories for all. All proceeds are donated to children’s charities. Aloha and E komo mei (welcome) to my site.

I am a freshman in Highschool and I started this project of 'Sewing the Dream' while living in Hawai’i when I was 10 years old. We saw a lot of homeless families and children in Hawai'i and I wanted to do something good and also combine my new love of sewing. That's when 'Sewing The Dream' came to life. I now sew colorful and fun accessories as well as useful household gadgets. My goal was to dona

te my projects to keiki (children) in need. We have since moved to California, but I would like to continue to spread Aloha and hopefully brighten someone's day. For my logo I choose the shaka (which I drew myself), which stands for Hello, Love, and the Aloha spirit. How can you get involved in supporting my charity? It's easy and fun: Buy something from me at the markets I attend. All profits will be used to purchase cloth or notions needed to complete our donations (for instance we sew toiletry pouches and fill them with fun and useful products like creams, chapsticks, nailpolish, brushes, etc.). Profits will also be used to purchase books, which we will donate together with our bookmarks or reading pillows. The books are bought at a local library book sale (in turn benefiting the library as well). We sometimes also donate money to the charities. I hope that you can find something you love for yourself, your family and friends. Mahalo for supporting my charity!

Donation Days are the best!
We are so happy we get to work once again with Project Hawai’i and donate reading pillows to them. This year we sewed 24 reading pillows which will be stuffed with coloring books and cute stuffed animals for the keiki’s summer camp. You can read more about the amazing work does with unhoused children and youth on their website here https://www.helpthehomelesskeiki.org/ (also if you are interested in supporting them with a donation you can find a link there).
Thank you to all of you who have supported us by donating fabrics, money, or buying items from us at our markets. We could not do this without you!) mahalo 🌺

A huge Mahalo to everyone who came out to the market to support the local artists. And an extra big thank you to those who stopped to chat and learn about what we do and those who bought an item or donated money. We are happy to say we have enough profit for the reading pillows for ‘s summer camp and are able to include books for the keiki as well. We couldn’t do this without your support!!
